June Knitting. Oh dear.


Dear friends!

It's been such a long time since I have posted any knitting here. Yes, I have been terribly busy with exams, studying, exams, studying, more exams... it's awful! I have barely had time to knit those weeks. As I advanced to you, I have started a triangular shawl and another "warm woolies" hat but in wool/acrylic/alpaca. I'll also show you the other Rainbow hat (same pattern) I knitted, together with the first one. The hat is lovely, although the yarn is soooo itchy! Gosh. But it looks quite elegant when knitted. More than the ball itself. Yes. Then, the shawl. I am increasing at end and beginning every other row - but, you'll notice I got tired of stockinette stitch and I have started doing a 2x2 rib decoration. I am not sure how this will go. I'll probably do 10 rows of ribbing then go back to stockinette. It will look decorative, maybe. I am not sure if that will work. Any suggestion? I am not sure what I'll finish first. And I am not sure the remaining ball of alpaca will be enough to finish the hat. Oh gosh. It'll be smaller, I think...

Back to knitting...


Dear friends,

Yes, it seems that I am back to knitting! I have to study hard but I have a bit of time to start knitting again. I began a multicolour baby jacket but had to unravel it all after the 5th row: I can't seem to find a way to "change to larger needles" - the stitches are too tight to slide them to a larger needle! They won't pass! Mmmm...

Well, anyway, I did another rainbow hat, identical to the last one. :)

More later...
Love, Flavio
